Default A real oldy!

Pappy, I was given this bottle after the owner died. She had been to Europe when a young lady, and supposedly brought this home with her. The bottle is obviously hand made and the glass is pitted with dirt ingrained. No markings. The handle small with bottom part mashed and there is a big blob of glass on front with two creases running horizonal. The bottle is 6"hx3"w. Can you I.D.?

Default Vase

BOOMER, I can't tell you WHO made it but I can tell you that it is hand made. The (Blob) glass on the front is the side pontil mark where the glass was blown and the neck of the gllass was then stretched.It is NOT a bottle but a "BUD" Flower vase. The sand and dirt on the vase is contributed to what is known as an "Unfinished Piece". If you look at the applied handle you will probably be able to make out fingerprints where the handle was applied.After the piece was blown it was stuck in sand to cool. The piece was never glazed, polished or smoothed out.
You have a very interesting vase and a nice keepsake...PAPPY
